Issue Position: My Vision for Education

Issue Position

Our children deserve an improved education system, and the economy and businesses of the future require that the graduates of our public schools be prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future. I will:

* Ensure that every graduate has the necessary skills to successfully achieve in vocational training, in college or as part of the workforce. I want all students to have the tools for success!

* Cut the number of kids in this district and across the state who drop out of school before graduation

* Work to ensure that our young children of today are part of graduating classes in a decade that will have been part of the most significant reforms the Washington educational system has seen.
